ICYMI: Wilmington Teacher Works with Google to Help Develop "Google Classroom" App

WILMINGTON, MA — A Wilmington High School teacher was one of eight teachers nationwide to work with Google engineers on Google Classroom, an app that aims to help streamline educational processes.

According to a Wilmington Public Schools announcement, Technology Integration Specialist Julie Kelley spent several days at Google NYC working with engineers to help make the app more "teacher-friendly." The announcement indicated that Kelley would be an integral part of the WPS' Google Chromebooks one-to-one initiative with the ninth grade class.

“Julie’s knowledge of Google will be indispensable to the staff and students as we work our way through the first year of the Google Chromebook initiative," Director of Technology Anne-Marie Fiore said.

Kelley is also a Google "Top Contributor," earning that distinction by sharing her knowledge in Google Help forums. Anyone who would like more information on the topic is asked to contact Anne-Marie Fiore at at the Wilmington Public Schools or email annemarie.fiore@wpsk12.com
